Play Time, Brunch and Visits

Zoe does a lot of playing both in school and at home. The other day I was hoping to get some pictures of her dressed up as a doctor and she obliged me... for the most part. She was very good at doing some serious doctor poses.



But she was also really good at showing her beautiful smile.



One of Zoe's favorite gift combinations is her bin of kinetic sand and her Barbie and Ken dolls. For some reason those two love going to the nude beach and getting buried in the sand while wearing the silliest of hats, and Zoe is always more than happy to oblige. Here she was burying them while wearing one of her sparkly, red tiaras.



When Zoe's gymnastics class is over, we typically drive up the street to have a lovely brunch at Wendy's, also known as Fry Fry House. What you may not know is that when we're there, or anywhere else, Zoe talks non-stop. Now she's still fairly camera shy, so what I'm able to capture on video is never what it's really like, but, for those of you who have not experienced this loquacious glory, here you go. Be sure to turn on the closed captions if you want to know what she's saying.


I also find it amazing that for a few spoonfuls of frosty she'll gladly eat her food. That, to me, is a very fair trade. After this particular outing to Wendy's we made a stop to see baby Karim. Zoe is always so excited to see him, as well as Becky and Hicham. She even posed (sort of) for a few pictures.



So that documents a fairly busy, but somewhat standard, long weekend. There aren't always as many visits with friends, and there are certainly fewer pictures, but that is about the level of fun.

Election Day

When Zoe was born, Barack Obama was the president. Today the country is voting to determine who will be president for the next four years. It will still be a long time before Zoe gets to cast her own vote, but when Cheryl got home today, the two of them went around the corner to our voting center and did their civic duty. Cheryl took a couple of pictures. The girls are asleep now, and the race is still too close to call, but I assume when we get up tomorrow (hopefully not in the middle of the night) we'll know who who won. I hope everyone got out to vote today! As you can see by her sticker, Zoe did.

Riding Together for the First Time

Today my bike was finally fixed, so I picked it up from the shop before picking Zoe up from Science Club. When she saw my bike she was very excited to go for a ride. It was overcast all day, but the weather held out and it was a beautiful evening, so we rushed home, she finished all her homework, and I loaded her bike onto the car. I packed a bag with some water and a couple snacks and we made our way to Lorimer Park. Before we took off down the trail, I wanted to take a selfie, but I was so excited that I forgot my helmet, so there are two selfies. As soon as I finished the picture she took off down the path. Fortunately I was able to catch up, phone in hand, to take a few pictures as we cruised down the trail. I am a mostly competent bike rider, but trying to pay attention to her, and the trail, and keep myself upright while holding my phone was tricky. So, I decided to take some video where, for the most part, I could rest my hand on the handlebars. She is so good a...

Visit from Nana and Poppy

To make sure she didn't forget about her parent's birthday's, Cheryl gave them their presents on the day of the baby shower. For her father, she got a nice webcam so that we could Skype with them to interact with Zoe. A few weeks ago we had done that for the first time and it actually worked out really well. So on Monday, April 2nd, Cheryl's parents came up from Florida to meet Zoe face to face for the first time. On one day Cheryl and Zoe went to Clark Park with Nana and Poppy. Later in the week Cheryl's sister Debbie came by with her daughters, Zoe's cousins, Ashlee and Taylor. Just before they left, Cheryl remembered to take a picture. Here's Zoe with her cousin Taylor. As always, you can find all of these pictures and more in Zoe's Set on Flickr.
